I thought a using a picture of someone for a brush might make a cool effect....I was right....IMO.

Here is where I tried to make a Street Lamp...I tried using the Glow Brush, but it wouldn't work....does anyone have a suggestion?

http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_image-1033250353cil.jpg

[Frenchy Pilou]

Hi Milk
The Glow brush must have a color under it.
Black color is "transparent"
Draw some colors around the street lamp with normal Brush and after apply glow brush !

Sorry if I am posting too many pictures at the same time....I hope i don't get kicked....

[Muvlo]

Don't worry about posting lots of images, Milk. :) You got a great start here, so don't stop now!

About adding a glow to you lamps, you might want to try using the Colorize Glow material. You can adjust its properties for various sized glows. (Don't forget to Best Render it after you add the material.)

A glow effect can also be enhanced with lighting. For a relatively small light like a streetlamp I would recommend a point light. :)

[milk]

Hmmm...and where shall these lights be...?

[milk]

Here is yet another update of me all mighty street lamp.

Heh, lets just "say" the grey in the back is the "sky" :D

http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_image-1033265823ajn.jpg

[Hellofellow]

Hehe i am confused about this program....

I saw a flat cartoon painting on here once, and I thought how about I try it.

It took my 2 minutes. :D :) :p

[rhom]

another nice one Jim-I always enjoy seeing
what you come up with.

[Hellofellow]

Hey can someone please tell me what the dots and stars mean next to people's names?
Thanks. :cool:

[The Namek]

They show the amount of posts a user has.
i'm not sure about this , but I think you get a grey dot for a number under 100 , an orange dot for every 100 posts , when you reach 1000 you get a star.

[milk]

Oh, i get it now. You don't have any yellers?

[Gerlon]

You have grey dots until you get 500 posts, then they turn yellow.

[TVeyes]

Oh boy, long way to go :)

[milk]

Some things I'd like to see in later versions of ZBrush...

:b3: 3D Mode
:b4: Nurbs
:b4: Vertexes
:b4: Shaping by Points
:b4: REAL QuadViews (altough, Aurick, your ZScript made my day!)
:b4: Grids! :)

I think an interesting 3D mode could make this program over the top! The Best!

Another thing I would like is a Main Toolbar like most programs (File [save, export, import], Edit [3D Mode :), Paint Mode, undo, redo, move...etc] and the list goes on..., but still keep the same bars....and have them moveable to the top and bottom the screen with drop down menus :)

But keep the program up because I LOVE IT!!

To me this may be the best program out right now. Keep up the GREAT work Pixologic. You guys have made this year the most worthwhile ever.

:tu: :tu: :tu:

:D :D :D

:p :p :p

[milk]

Oh my goodness...what a bad first try at ZSpheres...

http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_image-1033354055yug.jpg

Oh my....

[yahroon]

hi, this was my second image that i created: http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_image-1033396418hhe.jpg good idea to start a newbie topic :) :tu: :tu: :)

[chicko36]

I personally pray ZBrush doesn't end up with grinds, vertexes, nurbs and th rest of the junk that makes a 3d application to overly difficult to understand.

The attraction ot ZBrush is it's ease of use. Not it's comlication like Maya,or max. I say keep it simple yet powerfull. The way it works now.

[Mahlikus The Black]

You know thats funny..cuz I would like a nurbs style operation in ZB...and it might show up too...but don't worry. Live it up to Pixolator to make it easier then drooling in your sleep. If you think about it, ZB already has 2 types of nurb ops:
3D from alpha is kinda like extrude nurbs and we do have a Sweep profile 3D object that is just like a lathe nurbs. All we need now is loft and true sweep nurbs and its as capable as C4d and others...just about.
I would like to see SLA as a third party S4 shade option in the materials.

[milk]

No, all I'm saying is a nice neat 3D mode would be there. All the older stuff would be there (and I'm sure better). So it wouldn't make it any harder unless you wanted to use the 3D Mode. :)

[milk]

Thats REALLY nice yahroon :D

[milk]

Here is my SECOND try with ZSpheres. And the problem that I encountered.

http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_image-1033425912lwi.jpg

[milk]

I guess it didn't really turn out too bad after I added a bit of a texture, huh?

http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_image-1033427427nou.jpg

[aurick]

Somebody hasn't watched the ZSphere ZScripts that come with version 1.5. :p

The first sphere that you drew (the root sphere) was the top of the head. This sphere is uncapped by default when the model is skinned. If you put another sphere at the opposite end of the root sphere, the model will be capped and you won't get that open end.

[milk]

Oh thanks :). I'll go watch that script now...
:D
:p
:)

[milk]

Here is what I am working on now. It's kind of a Spiderhand.

I zoomed in and couldn't get it back to normal, so that's why it might look bad to you.

http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_image-1033883117zts.jpg

"Just your friendly neighborhood Spiderhand."

[Hellofellow]

Wasap milk. Yeah Zbrush is fun. Here is a really bad picture. :rolleyes:
